Summer Fruit: A Watermelon Basket

That beautiful season the Summer!
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light;
and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


We gave my middle son an open house in June for his high school graduation.  We served hot and BBQ chicken wings, coleslaw, cheesy potatoes, and pulled pork, along with a taco bar.  Everything turned out great, but the hit of the party was the Watermelon Basket.

I've written an article with step by step instructions for the basket, and variations on the theme for baby and bridal showers.  You can find the article here: http://oldfashionedliving.com/A-Watermelon-Basket-for-All-Occasions.html

I hope you all our staying cool and hydrated during the heat wave we are experiencing!
